    As many as possible so you don’t even think about them as the wolves to their fellow men that they are, and so you become more accepting of the even more repressive totalitarian police-state you will gradually find yourself in!

    Funny thing about propaganda. The only factor that mattters is volume. Most people agree with stuff if they see it enough.

    It’s been this way since I was a kid. The cynic in me says it’s intentional to desensitize us to the police state.

    1. Cops arresting criminals.
    2. Detectives investigating crimes and arresting criminals.
    3. Lawyers prosecuting criminals.
    4. Hospitals treating victims and criminals.

    That’s easily, what? 70% of television? I’m too lazy to look at actual TV schedules, but god, it feels that way. The Law and Order shows ALONE.

      Almost all dramas currently on network TV are about cops, lawyers, doctors, or firefighters

        My guess would be, assuming nothing nefarious, 😉 They’re easy to write, cheap to produce, and draw an audience. So from a media perspective, what’s not to like?
